**APIs profiled:** 0

An index and topic collection covering application deployment platforms, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) providers, and CI/CD-as-a-service tools that expose APIs for shipping code to production. Deployment platforms automate the path from source repository to running application, handling build, release, promotion, rollback, and continuous delivery. This collection spans modern PaaS providers like Vercel, Netlify, Render, Railway, Fly.io, and Heroku; cloud platform deployment services like AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google Cloud Run, and Azure App Service; hosted CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Travis CI, Buildkite, and Harness; and GitOps and continuous delivery tools like Argo CD, Flux CD, Spinnaker, Octopus Deploy, Jenkins, Tekton, and Werf.

## Use cases (7)

- **Push-to-Deploy Frontend Hosting** — Frontend teams connect a Git repository to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages and every commit automatically builds and deploys a new version, with preview URLs for every pull...
- **Multi-Stage CI/CD for Backend Services** — Engineering teams use GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI to build, test, scan, and publish backend services through promotion stages from development to production.
- **GitOps Continuous Deployment to Kubernetes** — Platform teams use Argo CD or Flux CD to declaratively sync Kubernetes manifests from Git repositories into clusters, with drift detection and automated reconciliation.
- **Legacy Application Modernization on PaaS** — Organizations migrate legacy web applications to managed runtimes like Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, or Azure App Service to offload patching, scaling, and load balancing.
- **Progressive Delivery with Canaries** — SRE teams use Spinnaker, Harness, or Argo Rollouts to release new versions to a small percentage of traffic, observe key metrics, and automatically promote or roll back based on...
- **Enterprise Release Orchestration** — Release engineering teams use Octopus Deploy or Harness to coordinate complex multi-service releases across hybrid environments with approvals, runbooks, and audit trails.
- **Edge and Serverless Container Deployment** — Teams deploy containerized microservices to managed runtimes like Google Cloud Run, AWS App Runner, Fly.io, or Koyeb to get autoscaling and global distribution without managing ...
